Night Hunters: Under Construction III

As construction continues down at the Night Hunters site, the creative team is making great progress on the plan for interior theming. Zoo Exhibits Artist Jessica Bechtel put on paper some ideas of how certain elements of the animal exhibits might extend into the public space. The intent here is to blur those lines of distinction between the animal and the visitor and really draw the visitor into the experience. It’s pretty exciting to see how it is all coming together!

Fabricated 3D trees could extend out from the wall above the clouded leopard exhibit.Plans include a fabricated 3D tree and rockwork on the face of the viewing window of the vampire bat exhibit.The Mayan ruins in a tropical forest theme of the ocelot exhibit might carry out into the public space.
